That's precisely the point. A stadium at NY Avenue would at least produce some benefit (though the corporate-welfare giveaway is still unjustified) by displacing the mess occupying the location currently. On the other hand, a stadium at Pentagon City would be an unmitigated fiasco, displacing other high-value (and, unlike the stadium, taxpaying) development.
